We are seeking an experienced Research Scientist to join our team and contribute to the development of evidence-based policy and guidelines for addressing hearing loss in adults.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and lead health policy analysis and development projects related to hearing loss in adults in Australia and globally.

  • Contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based guidelines and care pathways for hearing loss, supporting national and global frameworks.
  • Collaborate with government bodies, NGOs, industry, and community stakeholders to advocate for improved public health messaging and systems-level responses to hearing loss.
  • Participate in stakeholder workshops, project meetings, and policy forums to help embed research findings into practice and strengthen multisectoral partnerships.
  • Develop grant proposals to internal and external funding bodies.
  • Supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students, and mentor junior researchers.
Requirements:
  • You must have a PhD in public health, health policy, or a related field, with a demonstrated track record of research focused on health systems, equity, and/or sensory impairment.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting and leading health policy or public health research, ideally in areas related to health systems, ageing, sensory impairment, and/or non-communicable diseases.
  • Strong knowledge of health policy development and implementation processes in Australia or comparable health systems.
  • Experience with both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including data analysis, interpretation, and translation of findings into policy and practice.
  • Track record of peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs, or government reports.
  • Experience engaging with government, non-government, and/or community stakeholders, and contributing to research impact and/or advocacy efforts.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Experience with program evaluation, implementation science, and/or guideline development and implementation.
  • Familiarity with co-design or participatory research methodologies, particularly with older adults or underserved populations.
  • Knowledge of current hearing health policy and services in Australia or globally.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with world-renowned researchers and make a meaningful contribution to the field of hearing health policy. If you are passionate about improving the lives of adults with hearing loss, we encourage you to apply.
